Packard Forum Index » Post-War (1946-54)

again , i am so excited. i got the battery properly charged,new cables and very clean, thight connection(starter motor too). can u believe the car starts on half a crank. wow. this is so cool.
last night is read the forums and learned my packard has the ultramatic trans , so it has the 327 engine, not the 288. I guess this is good......
i am haviing a ball learning all these little things.
i want to do diagnostic tests b 4 i drive too much. i have lnever done this , but have been reading about it. found some compression tools and vacuum tools at sears yesterday. be nice to get an idea of the condition of the engine.
aloha, have a great Packard day!

Tim,

Glad you're learning about, playing with and enjoying your Packard.
